Al-Jazeera English is winning new fans

One of my current City University students is keen to work for Al-Jazeera English because she thinks it is so good. Now I've put her in touch with one of my former students who works there and who also believes it is doing a fine job. Evidently, they are not alone. According to a report in a Pakistan paper, AJE is gradually displacing the BBC and CNN as the TV news station of choice along people in several Pakistani cities. (Via The Nation)
